<font face="Verdana" size="2">Batches enable the GoldenGATE editor to process
a list of files automatically, e.g. as an overnight job.</font>
<h4><font face="Verdana">The Batches Menu</font></h4>
<font size="2" face="Verdana">The Batches menu provides access to functions
for managing and executing Batches:</font>
<ul>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Create:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new Batch by selecting a processor, a set of files, and a storage
    destination.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Edit:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Open
    the Batch management dialog.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Run:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Select
    a Batch from a list and execute it.</font></li>
</ul>
<h4><font face="Verdana">The Edit Batches Dialog</font></h4>
<font face="Verdana" size="2">The dialog for Batch management is accessible
through the Edit function in the Batch menu. On the right of the dialog, a list
displays all existing Batches. In the middle, a set of buttons allows changing
the parameters of the Batch currently selected in that list:</font>
<ul>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&quot;Use ...&quot; Buttons:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b>
    </b>For every type of document processor accessible to GoldenGATE, a button
    exists which opens a dialog for selecting the processor from a list
    displaying all avalilable processors of the particular type.</font></li>
  <li><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b>Processor:</b>&nbsp;Below the buttons, a label
    displays the type and name of the processor currently selected.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Selected Document Writer:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;The
    Document Writer to use for storing the documents after they are processed.
    The button to the right of the label opens a selector dialog.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Storage Destination:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;The
    button below displays the folder to store documents to after they are
    processed. Clicking the button opens a dialog for selecting the folder.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">File Table:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;The
    table displays the files the Batch handels. The right column provides the
    status of each file.</font></li>
  <li><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b>Add File(s):</b> Open a dialog for
    selecting files. Selecting a folder will add all files contained in that
    particular folder (excluding sub folders).</font></li>
  <li><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b>Remove File(s):</b> Remove the files
    selected in the table above the button.</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Verdana" size="2">At the top of the dialog, a line of buttons
provides the functionality for managing the Batches:</font>
<ul>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Create:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Open
    a sub-dialog for creating a new Batch by selecting a source of Annotations
    and adding the required parameters and the type for the Annotations.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Clone:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Clone
    the Batch currently selected. This is pretty much the same as creating a new
    one, beside the fact that the parameter values are copied.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Delete:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Delete
    the Batch currently selected.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Run</font></b><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Execute
    the Batch currently selected.</font></li>
</ul>
<h4><font face="Verdana">The Run Batch Dialog</font></h4>
<font size="2" face="Verdana">Clicking the Run button in the Batch management
dialog will open a Run dialog for the Batch currently selected. This dialog
allows controlling the Batch during execution.</font>
<ul>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">File Label:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;At
    the top of the dialog, a label displays the file currently being processed.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Progress Bar:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;</font><font face="Verdana" size="2">The
    progress bar visualizes the share of the files already processed.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Interactive:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Checking
    this box allows the processor to interact with the user if necessary,
    unchecking it forces the processor to work fully automatically.</font></li>

    Batch (clickable when the Batch is stopped or paused).</font></li>
  <li><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b>Pause Batch:</b> Pause executing the
